There’s no underestimating the importance of today’s match against Atalanta. Thanks to some favorable results elsewhere, if Roma emerges victorious, they will secure fourth place on the league table with a two-point cushion to boot! A draw wouldn’t spell disaster, but a win over Atalanta would put Roma in the driver’s seat for the league’s fourth and final Champions League place with two matches left.
Of course, there’s still the little matter of today’s match. Gian Piero Gasperini’s side seldom takes it easy on the GIallorossi, but there’s no team in the sport on a tear like Roma’s. With a 19-match unbeaten streak, Claudio Ranieri’s crew has found ways to win week after week, gutting out a string of 1-0 victories over the past three weeks.
The lineups are in, so let’s get down to business!
